Meme lizarded from bunches of folks

[debka_notion]

After several denials that I'd do this meme, I've given in.

1) 'Why am I on your friends' list?
Comment, then post this in your journal and see what people say about you.'

2) If you comment...
1. I'll respond with something random I like about you.
2. I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. I'll name something we should do together.
4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me (or just me).
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
6. I'll leave you a quote that is somehow appropriate to you.
7. I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.
8. If I do this for you, you must post this on your journal so you can do the same for other people.

1. You're remarkably good at keeping yourself going and being successful without a lot of input from other people- it's admirable, but a bit of a two-edged blade.
2. I'm at a loss here.
3. See eachother and hang out. Or at least hang fish.
4. Damn, this is why I resisted doing this meme. Err, something about screwdrivers, maybe?
5. I think my first memory is you showing up to one of those larger BORG meetings, but it isn't too distinct. My clearest memory would either be one of the times I saw you eating a meal alone in SHerman and made you come eat with me and whomever else, or when you and I and Nomi and such had dinner and then ended up talking back in your room for a surprising amount of time.
6. "Maybe you can live your life like everything's a bad joke. I can't." -Madeleine L'Engle
7. Why not be a bit nicer to yourself?

you did do it!

Because you're one of the people I enjoy talking to most.

1. You're remarkably in control of yourself and your surroundings, but you don't let it get to your head.
2. Many things Dar Williams-y.
3. Have a meal without talking about BORG planning
4. Er?
5. Sitting around on the couch and vaguely doing work while you directed rehearsals of Wyrd Sisters
6. "If you walk backwards, you'll find out that you can go forwards and people won't know if you're coming or going." -Casey Stengel
7. What would your ideal personal future look like?

[tovaks.livejournal.com]

Because I like reading what you write--also, you were one of the first friends I made here.

1. You know what you're interested in, and what you want to do with it.
2. Right now I'm thinking of the thing the queen of the night sings to her daughter in the Magic Flute- which I haven't seen in ages, hence what are probably incorrect character names.
3. See eachother in some context
4. Darnit I'm bad at this.
5. You bopping in to my room to meet me after being across the hall with Jason and co. You had that wolf sweater/jacket thing on and you had a lot of energy.
6. "There is no satisfaction in hanging a man who doesn't object to it." -George Bernard Shaw
7. What do you believe in without any need for proof?

[theshrewd.livejournal.com]

Because you're cool and I like you.

[debka-notion.livejournal.com]

1. You stick with things even when they don't make it easy for you.
2. Al Gemali (On My Camel)
3. Walk and talk, if you're up for it
4. something about bride prices and camels- not actually the reason for the song choice, that just happened: I was looking for a song for you, tried one, tried to go back to the thing the thing was playing before and got this instead, and it fit. If you want, I can send you the song sometime, because I'm sure you haven't heard it.
5. I just remember looking back and suddenly noticing you in the class in Intro to East Asian Lit. And then talking to you on the lawn of that library on our trip.
6. "We have to make ourselves a window through which others can see God in themselves." -Henri Nouwen
7. What do you see as the reward for a good life?

[theshrewd.livejournal.com]

3. Maybe hanging fish will suffice? I won't have much free time for the next few weeks.
4. Camels are something of a theme for us, aren't they? And I'd love to hear the song that reminds you of me.
6. That's a beautiful quote and I'm honored that you think it fits me.
7. A feeling of accomplishment in the knowledge that you've made things better for the people around you and a profound sense of peace.

Fish hanging I hope -and I may be around here over the summer, so maybe I can swing a trip your way if you'll be home, or we could meet up somewhere in the middle or something.

[danablanks.livejournal.com]

You are caring, intelligent and a lot of fun to talk to. :)

[debka-notion.livejournal.com]

1. You're so sure of yourself.
2. A whole series of almost indistinguishable Native American pieces...
3. Do a meal/hang out
4. What do you get when you mix techno, gregorian chant, and the writings of the Marquis de Sade? (OK, skyblue_dreamer might get this too...)
5. I don't remember meeting you specifically. I do remember sitting in your common room and studying for our Non-Western Musical Traditions final together.
6. "A compromise is the art of dividing a cake in such a way that everyone believes he has the biggest piece." -Ludwig Erhard
7. What is it that makes life interesting for you?

[skyblue-dreamer.livejournal.com]

Oh, non-western musical traditions...

[carnilius.livejournal.com]

Because you're my friend :-) Do I need any other reason?

[debka-notion.livejournal.com]

1. You seem very comfortable in your balance between pleasing yourself and pleasing the world.
2. Heya Heya
3. see each other. Not sure if I'll make it to Keff this year or not, or how much. How about you?
4. Why isn't Steve getting this pretty see-through rather dirty joke? (At least that's what I was thinking.. at the time)
5. Not sure about a first meeting. I remember you being really good about listening to some rather confused emoting of mine both last year and the year before. And more embarassingly, I remember not recognizing you without the goatee at the beginning of last Keff.
6. "Dancing is like standing still, only faster." -Billy Crystal also "English poetry is like a rose, navajo poetry is like a cactus plant." -Ted Fernald
7. How/when/in what circumstances did you start dancing?

1. You don't seem to need to prove yourself to other people.
2. Yavo Shalom Aleinu, Yona Matz'a
3. visit
4. I'm not sure right now
5. I remember finding you very intimidating, my freshman year. And then realizing slowly that you were really good people, and dropping by your room last year when I needed to talk and finding you and chinchillama and all your shtick.
6. "The sun with all those planets revolving aorund it and dependant on it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothign else to do." -Galileo
7. What's the best thing you've gotten out of this year in Israel?
